Studio Easels: Built for the Demands of the Studio
A studio easel is the centrepiece of a serious painting practice. Designed for regular, intensive use, it provides a stable, adjustable support for canvases and panels of all sizes. A well-chosen studio easel improves your posture, gives you better control over your work and can accommodate large-format pieces that smaller easels cannot handle. DeSerres carries a selection of studio easels in wood and metal, suited to oil, acrylic and mixed media painting.
Choosing a Studio Easel: What to Look For
The most important factors when choosing a studio easel are stability, adjustability and maximum canvas size. H-frame easels are the most stable option, with a wide base and a vertical mast that can hold very large canvases. A-frame or lyre easels are more compact and easier to move around the studio. Convertible easels can tilt to a horizontal position, useful for watercolour or working flat. Consider the height range, the weight of the easel and the size of your studio space before choosing. A good studio easel is a long-term investment that will serve your practice for years. Explore our Canvases, French Box Easels and our full Easels collection for more options.
